This is a radical idea, but we should remove photos from ids entirely.
Having the photo there just encourages sloppy ID checks by human eye, and it's much easier to mislead the human eye than it is to forge an NFC chip.
If the photo was in the chip only, we'd force ID verifiers to do their job properly, and make forgeries structurally impossible. With basically everybody having an NFC-enabled phone now, you wouldn't even need people to get extra hardware for this.
